Exercise & FitnessKelly Starrett on Building a Body That Stays Mobile and Pain-Free for Life
Physical therapist and mobility expert Dr. Kelly Starrett joins FoundMyFitness to outline why range of motion is uniquely salvageable as we age — unlike cardiovascular fitness or muscle mass, it need not decline at all with consistent attention. He breaks down how modern sedentary life erodes movement patterns, and how simple daily habits — floor sitting, movement snacks, hip stretches, and breath work — can reverse that trend. Starrett also addresses foam rolling, warmup strategy, heat versus cold for recovery, and the role of breathing mechanics in spinal health. A substantial portion covers youth athletics, arguing that sleep, nutrition, unstructured play, and multi-sport exposure matter far more than early specialization. The episode is practical throughout, offering home tests and minimal-time protocols accessible to both athletes and non-athletes.
